Yes exactly! I'm learning every day. Now I look at every part of an insect too see any differences or special features. I'm loving Project Noah!

Thank you Ashish & Johan. I'm confused now which one it is?? Now that I've seen the Australian sheep blowfly, I think it looks more like that one maybe?

Thank you Ashish & thank you Johan. I'm leaning more towards the large greenbottle. It looks very similar. Thank you both for your help :)
